New Glasses for Quick Quotes

Welcome Quick Quote fans to the first day of October.  Neva here to share with you a layout about my son and his first pair of glasses.  Not always a momentous occasion but being able to see well is a good thing!  I combined papers and sayings from several collections to create this page.  I only had one sheet of Harmony 104 left in my stash so I designed the page to maximize the patterns on both sides.

•  The background is Spring Showers 103.
• The section across the middle of the layout is Harmony 104, it was the best color match to my son's shirt.  It is trimmed to 6" x 12", then the diagonal is trimmed down 1 1/2" on both edges.
•  The edges are inked with Powder Puff Chalking Ink in Blue Moon.

•  Two pieces are trimmed to 1 1/2" x 4 3/4" from Navigator 103 
• The edges are inked with Powder Puff Chalking Ink in Rusty Nail.  
• The photo is adhered to the diagonal strip.
• The two pieces of Navigator are adhered behind the photo and the diagonal strip.  Looks like the entire photo is matted doesn't it?

• The reverse side of Harmony 104 is trimmed to 2" x 6".
• The edges are inked with Powder Puff Chalking Ink in Blue Moon.
•  The page is laid out to determine the placing of the sections.  
• Use a straight edge like a ruler to line up the sections to create the illusion of a 7 3/4" x 6" piece of cardstock.  
• The diagonal section is adhered over the top.   

• Three saying are trimmed from Farmhouse 500 and inked with Powder Puff Chalking Ink in Blue Moon.
• Two sections are backed with Navigator 103 and inked with Powder Puff Chalking Ink in Rusty Nail.
• The remaining saying is backed with Harmony 104 and inked with Powder Puff Chalking Ink in Blue Moon.

• I love this saying from Farmhouse 500, which is inked Powder Puff Chalking Ink in Blue Moon.
• It is backed with  Navigator 103 and inked with Powder Puff Chalking Ink in Rusty Nail.

• The title is die cut from Navigator 103 and inked with Powder Puff Chalking Ink in Rusty Nail.  I used a brush tip applicator to get in the tight corners of the letters.
• The journal block is stamped in Powder Puff Chalking Ink in Rusty Nail.  It is edged with Powder Puff Chalking Ink Blue Moon.
• It is then backed with Harmony 104 and inked with Powder Puff Chalking Ink in Blue Moon.

My son enjoys looking at his layouts and declared this one to be fantastic!  I enjoy documenting times like these and little moments in life, don't you?
